Rusty’s First Alert Forecast - One day of fall before some October heat
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - You’ll again head out the door to 40s and 50s in the metro and surrounding area as it feels like fall to start the day. Today is the only day this week we’ll have that fall feel for the afternoon though.
Dew points will be low all day and the north breeze will be rather light most of the day too. It should be an enjoyable one!
South wind will kick in again Wednesday helping to drag in more fall warmth for the rest of the week. After a chilly start, highs will reach the mid 80s with SSW gusts up to 30 mph at times.
More 80s are likely for Thursday and Friday as well.
Saturday is the day we’re watching the closest in the 6 First Alert Weather Center. It has trended up some on models but the consistency isn’t quite there to bump the forecast high up near the record just yet. It’s close right now in the lower 90s though. Pay attention to the trends as we go through the week, especially if you have tickets to the afternoon game in Lincoln.
Along with being very hot for early October, the fire danger could end up on the higher end too with gusts to 30 mph from the southwest helping to dry the air out. Cooler 70 and some 80s are likely to follow that.
